James Harden: Thunder won't give Harden max extension?

The Thunder are demanding that James Harden accept a contract extension worth less than the maximum amount, according to ESPN's Marc Stein.Stein is plugged in around the league and still expects a deal to get done, though he acknowledges that there's "plenty of pessimism still circulating." Harden has said before that he'd be willing to accept less than the max contract, which seems to improve the odds that a deal will be finished by the Oct. 31 deadline.
